Week 3 run 1 in the bag!

Just finished, and I have to say it was SO manageable despite my anxiety. It feels GOOOOD! It is great to have the online community to share this with. 😊

Thank you Elfe5 for the tip on Japanese running, that was really helpful. For the first 2 runs I set a challenge to see how slow I could run, that made an amazing difference. Then at one point the coach said to imagine you’re running by a hedge to not bob up and down - I was by a hedge! And bobbing! So could fix that immediately.

I am using the same route for now, thinking I will travel further each week. WRONG! it was shorter distance this week, for some reason that was a surprise!!

Two rest days felt a long time, it was good to get out again. Roll on Wednesday for day 2, I’m hoping the week will continue well.

Then you. It is incredible how it builds on weeks 1 and 2, as everyone keeps saying GO SLOW and you’ll do it. And you don’t go as far! Every best wish for your week 3! Let us know😊
